Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1 pound boneless ribeye steak, sliced or coarsely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 slices provolone cheese
Egg Rolls
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying (enough to fill a deep pan about 2-3 inches)
Optional Dipping Sauce
- Ranch dressing
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped green bell pepper and onion, and sauté until softened and fragrant. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Cook the Steak: In the same pan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the ribeye steak pieces, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
- Combine Filling: Return the cooked bell peppers and onions to the pan with the steak. Stir to combine the mixture evenly.
- Assemble Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place half a slice of provolone cheese in the center of the wrapper, followed by 2-3 tablespoons of the steak and vegetable mixture. Fold and seal the edges with a little water to form a roll.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Heat oil to 350°F in a deep frying pan or pot. Fry the egg rolls in batches, cooking each for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Bake Option: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly coat assembled egg rolls with cooking spray and bake them on a baking sheet for 15-20 minutes or until crispy, flipping halfway through.
- Serve: Serve the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls hot with ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute provolone with American or mozzarella cheese for variation.
- For a healthier alternative, use the baking method instead of frying.
- Make sure to seal the egg rolls edges well to prevent filling from leaking during frying.
- Let cooked egg rolls rest on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Leftover steak mixture can be refrigerated up to 2 days for another use.
